Learning from Bryan

Bryan Thompson, from Mississippi,

Didn't want to be vaccinated

Until he knew much more about

The COVID vaccine. Thus, he waited.

 

Caution is understandable,

And many people do not envision

Coming down with COVID. But Bryan

Soon regretted his decision.

 

He ended up in the hospital

With COVID, and soon he realized

That even though he had been careful,

He probably shouldn't have been surprised.

 

After some time, he was released.

Back at home he began to complain

About discomfort in one of his legs--

In fact, excruciating pain.

 

Back to the hospital he went.

There the doctors determined that he

Would have to lose his leg. It was

Amputated below the knee.

 

Bryan is lucky he's still alive.

He now feels that it was wrong

To hold off getting his vaccination.

He should have known better all along.

 

Please do not feel Schadenfreude

Or say, "Bryan, it serves you right."

No, be happy he's still alive

To help other people see the light.
